The horror series from executive producer Eli Roth has been renewed for a 10-episode third and final season by the streaming network, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The final season will premiere in 2015.

Executive producers Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy originally developed the series after writing thegothic horror novel on which the show is loosely based. Executive producer Charles "Chic" Eglee, who joined in season two, is the showrunner. Eric Newman and Michael Connolly also executive produce.

“We are so grateful to the fans of Hemlock Grove,who have championed the series so intensely over two seasons,” said Roth. “We are looking forward to taking the last and final season into some dark and unexpected places, and to giving viewers the killer finale you’d come to expect from Hemlock Grove.”

“We are delighted that our fans have invited us back to explore the fiendish recesses of the human condition for another season. Knowing it will be our last gives us the opportunity to go out in a mushroom cloud of clever and soul-shattering mayhem. See you soon on the twisted streets of Hemlock Grove,” said Eglee.

“We, along with the fans, are looking forward to visiting Hemlock Grove one last time, and we know that Chic, Eli and the team will provide a riveting and mind-bending conclusion to complete the series,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix's vp original programming.
